What Guests Say
The Bica family impressed us with their hospitality. We had a dreamlike stay. The country house was fully equipped, clean and comfortable.
The apartment is right beside the house of the owners. They are a wonderful couple. They gave me some tips, treated me with a dinner and fruits. The property is very well maintained and the garden looks fantastic.
A wonderful accommodation furnished with love and individuality. We liked the style and the old furniture. The two hosts deserve special mention — they give you privacy but are there when you need them.
A gorgeous modern house, furnished in excellent style with an artistic soul. Beautiful, tasteful, pleasant, very clean. The spacious kitchen with living room is the heart of the house.
The Bicas are as good hosts as you’ll rarely find. They gently and skillfully renovated the apartment, incorporating many antique furnishings, so you can almost live in a museum.
Impeccable cleanliness. Strategic location for those with few days who don’t want to miss anything. The owners made us feel at home. We hope to return soon!
Everything is perfect! Cottage decorated with great charm, authentic, large and very comfortable. The two terraces allow you to enjoy beautiful days from breakfast to evening.
Definitely 10 out of 10. Very comfortable apartments with direct access to the garden. The place is beautifully decorated with vintage interior details. The garden with lemon trees is absolutely wonderful.
Nico and his wife were great hosts. Beautiful garden with interesting fruits. Great outdoor area for breakfast. Super location in front of the nature reserve.
